FRIGHTFUL CHRISTMAS EVE HOL

An
Overturned Lamp Set fire to
Building, Burning Men, Women
and Children to Death.
I A dispatch from Klamath Falls yester
rday gives the following account of the
Silver Lake horror :
"A most horrible holocaust occurred
at Silver Lake, Or., Christmas eve.
Over 40 people gave up their lives. Six
teen" were badly injured, five of whom
will probably die. While Santa Claus
was making merry, the little children
who had assembled in the hall above
Chrisman Brothers' store, with their
parents, brothers and sisters, little
dreamed ot the horrible fate they were
soon to meet. The Lakeview Examiner

on a bench in the middle of the hall. In
doing so, bis head strnck a lamp hanging
from the ceiling, causing the oil to run
oat, which immediately caught fire.
While trying to take the lamp down, it
was tipped so that the oil ran out on the
floor. From that time on the scene was
horrible to behold. Some said, 'Shut
the door and keep quiet, it can be put
out,' while others screamed and yelled.
The lamp was finally taken down, but it
fell to the floor. In the attempts of the
people to escape, it was kicked to the
door, where it lav motionless, as it could
not be touched on account of the intense
heat. People were compelled to go
through the flames, in order to reach
the door, and frantically rushed to their
doom. The killed are :
Mrs. John Buick, Freddie and the
baby ; Mrs. Owsley, Lillie and Bruce ;
J J Buick and his daughter, Mrs. Snell
ing, Mrs Howard and two children ;
Ed Bowen, Miss McCauley, Wood
Hearst and wife, Mrs Coshow, Frank
West and wife and two children ; T J
Lambnes and child, Mrs Ward, sr.,
Mrs U F Absbier, Frankie Horning,
Mrs Payne, Mrs Nettie Williams and
child, W Clay Martin and wife, Robert
Small, Mrs Ella Ward and child, Frank
Ross, his mother and sister, Roy Ward's
child, Ira Hamilton and Mrs Gas
Schroeder and child.
"The five injured, who are likely to
die, are : Mrs J T Labrie, Bob Snelling
and sister, and Ed Payne and son.
"The postoffice and . the entire stock
of goods of Chrisman Brothers, which
were in the building, a two-story struc

are able to live only for and by them
selves. There is a hermit crab, who carries
about him attached to his shell, or even
to his claw, a sea anemone. When the
crab feeds his. partner shares the. feast,
and morover enjoys the benefits of free
locomotion, though little able to move
itself. The parasite fully repays this
service by hiding the crab when he is in
danger, aiding him to numb or kill his
prey, and, when the time comes for the
crab to change his shell, assisting him
ti his new home'.
Another example of this spirit of
communism is found in the protection
afforded the acacia tree of tropical
America by a colony of ant warriors.
The acacia tree, finding itself in danger
ofjdestraction by leaf-cutting and other
ants and other insects, enlists in its
service a tribe of ants, which are not
only innocuous, but ready to fight for the
pljant aid keep off its enemies.
Bat the ants are true mercenaries and
not serve without pay, and for
them the tree affords food and a shelter
hollow appendages (stipules) to live in
and nutrient fluids on which they. feed.
As soon as tne foe sets foot on the leaf
stock he is assailed by the guardian ants
and either killed or compelled to beat a
hasty retreat. Pit.tshnnr Dispatch. ,
